Starting with Seeds: Pansy
Starting pansies from seeds is an excellent choice in January. Beginners will enjoy the lower temperature requirements, and the plants are usually moved outdoors, away from the indoors growing area making room for the fast growing summer annuals. Pansies make beautiful additions to the home landscape. Some have blotches ("faces") and they come in many different colors. Since they will withstand mild frost they are excellent companions to spring flowering bulbs. Contrary to common belief pansies are fairly easy to grow from seed, even for inexperienced growers. Lean the truths and myths about these early spring jewels.
